Sunburn
Christchurch has a clear, unpolluted atmosphere and relatively low latitudes produce sunlight stronger than much of Europe or North America, so always apply sunscreen before stepping out in the sun and wear a hat, shades and carry an umbrella if you plan to be out in the sun for more than 15-20 minutes.
